Lust

No matter what, you deserve to smile; 
don’t let anyone take that away from you.

If I could, I would shrink myself and sink through your skin to your blood cells and remove whatever makes you hurt - but I am too weak to be your cure.

The only thing I've learned is that you can't move on alone. You need someone else to show you that behind all the clouds, the sun is still shining.

And when I'm over you, I'll be the happiest I've ever been. Happier than you ever made me.

Never think you're nothing. Never cry at night over not being pretty enough. Never tell yourself you'll never be good enough. Because to someone, you're everything. To someone, you're beautiful. To someone you are the world.

Tears are words straight from the heart.
They can't be explained, and sometimes they're hard to understand.
Tears are mixed emotions, tears are broken love letters.
Tears are more than just tears.

Strength isn't how much you can handle before you break; it's about how much you can handle after you break.

Don’t let a few rips in your heart keep you from loving at all.

I'm better now, but I'm still incomplete.

You didn't love me. You just didn't want to be alone. Or maybe, maybe I was just too good for your ego. Or maybe I made you feel better about your miserable life, but you didn't love me. Because you don't destroy people you love.

Tell me my dreams are unrealistic, & I'll tell you yours aren't big enough.

You are my science. You make me believe in the atoms in your skin. Now I believe in the chemistry in our kiss. And now I believe in the molecules that make up love.You are my science. I am a scientist.

Yes, I was infatuated with you. I am still. No one has ever heightened such a keen capacity of physical sensation in me. I cut you out because I couldn’t stand being a passing fancy. Before I give my body, I must give my thoughts, my mind, my dreams. And you weren’t having any of those.

He knew that when he kissed this girl, and forever wed his unutterable visions to her perishable breath, his mind would never romp again like the mind of God. So he waited, listening for a moment longer to the tuning-fork that had been struck upon a star. Then he kissed her. At his lips' touch she blossomed for him like a flower and the incarnation was complete.

You make me feel so comfortable in silence. With other people, it's awkward, I have to ramble on to fill the space in between us. But with you, your eyes speak the words I need to hear, and your heart sings my favorite song. Although I can hear nothing, I feel everything I need.

You've made the air flammable. These walls are just paper. And blood is gasoline. You shouldn't have come here, made of fireworks, if you didn't want me to play with fire. I need a light.

I was nauseous and tingly all over. I was either in love or I had smallpox.

I owe you nothing and you're nothing to me. Thank you for curing me of my ridiculous obsession with love.

I was addicted to saying things and having them matter to someone.

You told me it'd be okay. But you were the one crying. You told me to let go. But you were the one holding onto my shirt. Each night I put my head on my pillow. And try to tell myself I'm strong. Because I've gone another day without you.

You're a coward and a liar at best. Keep walking, kid, and choke on your regrets.

It's times like these when all I really want to do is put on your favorite t-shirt, curl up in a ball and sleep to dry these tears. Never in my life did I think that I would need someone so much.

My nerves have been shaking twenty-four-seven and I've stopped trying to calm them. Nothing, and I mean nothing, seems right anymore. Each day gets more dreadful and each day I wish I wasn't here just a little more than the day before. I've been back in a corner for days and no one will pull me out. Being alone really does feel as awful as it sounds. Between the arguments and the tears, I can't hear my own thoughts anymore. I have no clue of what I want, what I need, or what I should have.

Dear you,
I think it's time for you to let go of him.
He has hurt you & me too much.
Just let the memories fade. It's time to leave him behind.
I know it'll be hard, but it's for the best, trust me.
Remember, always follow me and everything will be fine.
Love always, Your Heart

Forget

The next time I'll fall in love, I want to fall for someone who will make me feel that loving him is the greatest decision I ever made and not just another mistake.

Relationships are worth fighting for. But sometimes, you can't be the only one fighting.

Just because something isn't happening for you right now doesn't mean that it will never happen. It means you're not ready for it yet.

And above all, watch with glittery eyes the world around, because the greatest secrets and lessons to life are hidden in the most unlikely places.

My thoughts tend to sound better in books I didn't write, and in the songs I didn't sing. Even then, sometimes there is no piece of literature, no song, no work of art that can really explain the way you feel. There is a double-edge comfort in knowing that no one really knows.

It doesn’t matter how you did it, why you did it or even if you meant to do it. All that matters is that you broke my heart when you promised me that you wouldn’t. The other shit that comes outta your mouth while you’re apologizing means nothing to me.

Someone out there is meant to be the love of your life, your best friend, your soulmate. The one you can tell all your dreams to and he will never laugh at your heart. He'll brush the hair out of your eyes and send flowers when you least expect it. He'll call you to tell you goodnight before you get into bed or just because he is thinking about you. He'll be bursting to talk to you each morning just to hear the sound of your voice. He'll look into your eyes and tell you that you are the most beautiful girl he has ever seen, and for the first time in your life, you will believe it.

You read "sorry, try again" off the inside of a bottle cap; story of your life. You never come first, you're never the winner, you're never the best. There's always someone better. Maybe next time; you did your best. At least you tried. All these things are supposed to make you feel better, but it just reminds you that no matter how hard you try, how you gave it your all, you failed. You'll never be good enough for him.

Reach for the stars. Stand on your tiptoes, and never tell yourself no. You, yes you, can achieve anything. It may take months, it may take years but when you finally have a firm grasp on that star, the reward is breathtaking.

Funny that one moment both of you were inseparable. And now, you're just two different people trying to forget each other.

And one day I hope you look back at what we had, and regret every single thing you did to let it end.

Looking back now, I don't even see what I saw in you to begin with.

Don't let him have the satisfaction of knowing you'll always be there waiting.

Don't ever give up if you still want to try, don't ever wipe your tears if you still want to cry. Don't ever settle for an answer if you still want to know, don't ever say you don't love him if you can't let him go.

You just have to learn that sometimes, it isn't love. It's just a feeling. A sudden feeling, and you just overreacted.

You know, after that day I changed. I am no longer the same person that I was three weeks ago. I am not the same person who believed in fate. I won't believe in 'signs' anymore because they really do not mean anything, no matter how bad you wish or hope they do. As of right now, I don't believe in love. There is no happily ever after. Not in this world. At least not for me. Not now. Not ever.

I don’t want you, that ship sailed. I just want something other than this.

I said my goodbyes and wiped my hands clean, but the lack of you is starting to kick in.

Do us both a favor and don't come back.

I'm gonna love you with my hands tied.

And when I'm over you, I'll be the happiest I've ever been. Happier than you ever made me.

Like a rainbow after the rain, there’s always a good thing after the pain.

Sometimes it seems like you'd rather watch me drown, than see your hands get wet.

It's a little too late, I'm a little too gone, a little too tired of just hanging on.

No matter what the outcome is, you have to realize you put your all into it and that’s what counts.Things happen how they're meant to,all you can do is learn from them and accept the possibility of a better tomorrow, of a new day.

Never

We can't go back to how things used to be, nothing is ever going to be the same again. It's not my fault so don't blame me, you're the one who decided to leave.

"Keep your head up, your legs closed, and your eyes open. - Tupac

I'm sorry to tell you, but I think it's true. "I'm done with him", was the truth. She's moving on without you. You never see tears in her eyes anymore. She smiles more than anything now. Don't walk back into her life and expect things to go back to how they were, because this time - it's different. This time, you made her realize she can do better.

No one falls in love by choice, it is by chance. No one stays in love by chance, it is by work. And no one falls out of love by chance, it is by choice.

Love the heart that hurts you,
but never hurt the heart that loves you.

Unless it's mad, passionate, extraordinary love, it's a waste of your time. There are too many mediocre things in life, and love shouldn't be one of them.

And then my soul saw you and it kind of went "Oh there you are. I've been looking for you."

Life is all about ass. Everyone is either covering it, laughing it off, kicking it, kissing it, trying to get a piece of it or being one.

They say that good things take time, but really great things happen in the blink of an eye.

"I am coming to terms with the fact that loving someone requires a leap of faith, and that a soft landing is never guaranteed" -Sarah Dessen

Her heart is breaking as she's staring at every single girl that walks by, somehow thinking that they're better than her. Tonight, she'll lie awake, and tear herself down, because that's what she's best at. She's just one of those girls that no matter how many times she's told, never believes that she's beautiful.

He said, 'I missed you.' I said, 'I missed you too.'
Then he fell silent and so did I.
I then said, 'Thank you.'
He asked, 'For what?
I said, 'For giving me back my life.'
He smiled and said, 'Then thank you for starting mine.'

I guess in the end, the person that loved the most hurts the most.

Wherever you are, I hope that you're happy tonight. And maybe you found someone who will love you right.

Always

You get to a point where you stop feeling sorry for yourself. You realize no one's going to save you, so you have to save yourself. You turn your life around, not knowing where you're going, just knowing that you'll do anything, anything to be happy again.

There is a big gap between who I am and who I want to be.

I wish I could believe in myself like I believe in you. In order to move on, 
you must know why you felt the way you did
and why you no longer need to feel it. I want someone to fall in love with the way I laugh and fall in love with my smile. I want someone who'll listen to the rambling of my inner child, someone who touches my face and brushes the hair from my eyes. I want someone who loves me, or at least holds me like they do. But I only what that if it's you.

I find beauty in everyone's flaws except for my own

There's just something about you that I'm scared to lose because I know I won't find it in anyone else.

Because I miss you, when something really good happens, you're the first one I want to share it with. Because I miss you when something is troubling me, you're the only one who would've understand. Because I miss you, when I laugh and cry, you're the only one who could make me laugh harder and make my tears disappear. I don't know where we went and why we grew apart, but you should know, I miss you.

As hard as it was to move on, I think I'm finally okay with how we are. At some point, we both wish we didn't ignore each other like that. I’ll be forgiving you, just like you were forgiving me. People make mistakes, second chances are okay. It’s like a weight has just been lifted, I can finally breathe and not worry about what he will say, or when he would've finally stopped ignoring me. Because now I no longer care.

No matter what you do to me, I'm still here. For some odd reason, I stick around and put up with all your mood swings and unkind words. I just let your comments roll off me into a puddle on the floor. I make up excuses on why you didn't call, try to think of all the answers. I keep going back for more even though sometimes you push me away. I don't know if I can do better, but do I really want to? You're quick to push me down when all I want is to be brought up. when I walk out for good, when I really gain the strength I need, then maybe you will see. Maybe you can look back and say, "wow that girl really did love me."

You meant the world to me, even if I didn’t mean the world to you. You taught me so much, and I just want you to know I appreciate everything you’ve done for me in the past few month. You gave me something to be happy about, you gave me the meaning o what it’s like to know that someone actually cares. You truly are an amazing person and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. I know things aren’t easy between us right now, but I hope someday soon, we can go back to how we used to be. But no matter what, don’t ever forget that I am always here for you when you need someone, regardless of what the situation is. You were there for me, so I'm going to be there for you. This isn’t goodbye forever, this is goodbye for now.

Sometimes you have to be strong for yourself. You have to know that you are a good person and a good friend. What is meant to be will end up good, and what is not, won't. Relationships are worth fighting for, but sometimes you can't be the only one fighting. At times, people need to fight for you. If they don't, you must move on and realize what you gave them was more than they were willing to give you. Hopefully people realize great things when they come around and don't lose something real. And always fight until you can't anymore, and then be fought for.

You're probably thinking I've forgotten all about you by now, but that's far from it. I have missed you every waking day and my heart still hurts, but I'm getting better. I continue to smile and still go on without you. I know I have missed you, but I have kept it all inside of me, only for me to know. I still wonder about your doings, how you are, what you're doing, from what we used to talk about, to the laugh in your voice. Just everything, I miss it all. However, I feel that the parting of us was for the best, because everything happens for a reason. Should destiny put us into a crossing road in the future, that is when I will see you again. Until then, remember this, no matter what, even through the screaming fights, the disagreements, mistakes and the tears we've cried, never ever did I give up on you. ***

I need someone to prove to me that I'm worth it, really worth it to them. maybe all I need is a person who can show me that everyone is not the same. Honestly, I thought you were that person but I was wrong. Is it too much to ask for someone to take a risk on me, to fight for me, to actually care enough to not let something go; the way I did for you? You never even thanked me. I acted the way I did because I cared. I didn't realize it then, but I do now. I don't do that for just anyone. So, call me crazy, but today.. today I realized that i can't keep waiting for you. I'm moving on, I can't stay in one place waiting. I can't be around you anymore. I'm not over it, I don't get over things fast, I never have, no matter how much I try and convince myself. I'll see you around sometime. I keep thinking maybe somehow, something will click and everything will go back to the way it was in the beginning. Maybe we could go back to that, but too much has been said and done. So, maybe you'll get one more chance from me, maybe you won't.

You keep telling me to be glad for what we had while we had it. That the brightest flame burns quickest. Which means you saw us as a candle. And I saw us as the sun.

You absolutely destroyed me, did you know that? But you know what, I just wanna say thank you. I don't regret meeting you, but I don't wish you would magically come back into my life again because I believe God gives us someone like this for a reason. Someone who will hurt you a million times, someone who will leave you and not look back. But this person, they will make you a better person in the end. You will come out stronger than ever before and you will be happier without him than you were with him.

Well, how did you expect it to be? You signed up for a car crash when you signed up with me. And you can't swim to safety on a sinking ship. So, go home, baby, if you're ready to quit.

Thought

Stomach, meet butterflies.

An apology doesn't make things right. If anything, it just helps you sleep better at night. I know you meant well, but words will never change a thing. You're so selfish, you wouldn't even let me in on the coldest of nights.

Do you miss the blend of colors she left in your black and white field? Do you feel condemned just being there?

She wouldn't care if you called her and woke her up to talk at 2am. She loves arguing, and she's good at it. Scary movies make her paranoid. She hates it when people don't call her back. She envies every couple she sees walking around showing their happiness. She only wants to be lately, and lately all she's thought about is you.

You're like a hurricane to me, your center is sweet and your violence, beautiful.

He ate my heart.

I am an excitable person who only understands life lyrically, musically, in whom feelings are much stronger than reason. I am so thirsty for the marvelous that only the marvelous has power over me. Anything I can not transform into something marvelous, I let go. Reality doesn’t impress me. I only believe in intoxication, in ecstasy, and when ordinary life shackles me, I escape, one way or another. No more wall.

I understand. After all, you've lied to everyone else. I was beginning to feel left out.

Don’t you dare tell me nothing matters. Everything matters. Every fucking drop of rain, every ray of sunlight, every wisp of cloud matters and they matter because I can see them and if I can see them then they can see me and I know that there’s an entire world that cares out there, hiding behind a world that doesn’t, afraid to show who it really is and with or without you. I will drag that world out of the dirt and the blood and the muck until we live in it. Until we all live in it.

Maybe that’s just growing up. When you’re young, you tell yourself things like "Well, if it didn’t work out, it wasn’t meant to be" as if that actually meant something, just because it sounds like it does. I think you can say something like that so blithely because you expect to stumble onto something else just as wonderful just around the next bend in the road. But people are rare perfect unique things, and just because everyone really does live a life full of farewells doesn’t mean you shouldn’t at least realize what it really means to say goodbye to something that meant everything. Just because you will survive and get over it doesn’t mean you should let it go.

You absolutely destroyed me, did you know that? But you know what, I just wanna say thank you. I don't regret meeting you, but I don't wish you would magically come back into my life again because I believe God gives us someone like this for a reason. Someone who will hurt you a million times, someone who will leave you and not look back. But this person, they will make you a better person in the end. You will come out stronger than ever before and you will be happier without him than you were with him.

I hate how you sit there and act like you know me. Let's get this straight. You used to know me. And you remember what happened with that situation? See, that girl you used to know… she left. Just like you did.

You will never know how hard it is. No one will. Not amount of pain or suffering can compare to that second that I watched you walk away, and never come back.

Remember how you promised me this wouldn't change anything? Only it did. And you said that nothing could make you feel any different about me? Only it did. And that you loved me? Only you didn't, not even a little bit, not even at all. So now I'm laying in bed trying to figure out exactly why I let you win when we both knew that you were full of it. But sometimes I just wanna pretend that I'm happy and that maybe someone won't leave me. But they always do. I have been plagued by countless versions of you. Maybe I should just get used to the idea that nobody can handle me.

I want to loose myself in you.

You were my ticket out of here, and I was your dream come true. You gave me everything I ever wanted, except for you.

Every time I see something beautiful, I wish you were still here to see it with me.

Sometimes you feel everything and nothing all at once. Sometimes you’ll find yourself smiling while missing someone at the same time. At times you can absolutely love a person, all the while wanting to hate them so badly. Life comes without guarantee’s, except that smiling will brighten your face, laughing will enhance your eyes, and falling in love will change your life.

Neglect

I will never regret you or say that I wish I'd never met you because once upon a time you were exactly what I needed.

Even though we know we shouldn't love them, we do and always will, because there are just a small number of people in this world who will "get" us for reasons we can't explain, even when they shouldn't.

Without him, I didn't feel the simplicities in the world anymore. The sky was just the sky, and I was just a girl, and without him, neither seemed quite as exquisite and beautiful.

After all is said and done, I still think you're amazing. I still cherish every moment I spent with you, every smile you brought to my face. I'll be forever thankful that someone like you was brought into my life, even if you had to be taken away too soon. See you were my miracle. You were the fairytale I got to live.

And damn, I just want to feel a little safe. I never asked for romance novel love, or movie screen images of kisses. I just wanted to not be alone.

So many thoughts that I can't get out of my head I try to live without you, every time I do I feel dead I know what's best for me but I want you instead I'll keep on wasting all my time.

I swear to you I'll try my best. I won't let you fall. I won't let another goddamn tear run down your face. You're everything, and I need you to see that. I'm sorry I haven't treated you well in the past. I'm sorry I gave up on you. I'm here now, and I'm not going to sit back and watch you lose yourself this time. I promise you that.

How can time just let things fall apart? Because for me, things fall apart, and they never know how to be put back together. Things will never be put back together. No matter how hard I try, I know I'm going to lose you. You're one star in a sky of a thousand, but you're the brightest one, and I know you'll fade. You'll fade until I can't find you anymore.

Doomed to be forgotten.

Heart vs. heart.

I prefer to live in my own little world.

I hide my pain like the rest of them, that's why I'm always laughing. I'm troubled, I'm brilliant and miserable too that's why I'm so funny. I swallow down all my fears with a bottle made of silver, I've only been here for 16 years but already my life is over.

Even though we no longer speak, I still hope you’re doing okay. I’d never admit it to you, but I hate seeing you do this to yourself. I still care.

We're not the same, dear, as we used to be. The seasons have changed and so have we, there was little we could say and even less that we could do to stop the ice from getting thinner under me and you.

I'd wait for you forever, if you promised to come back.

So many times I've loved you, more than myself. It's time to take that love and put it on the shelf.

I won't fight to stay when all you want for me to do is leave. I’m not gonna miss you when you don't miss me. I’m not gonna care when you don't at all. I’m just not going to try anymore. You've kept my hopes up for much too long. It's about time they come crashing back down to earth.

So why'd you have to go? Is there something I could say, to make you turn around? Cause it's nights like these I wish I'd said don't go.

And I find it kind of funny but I find it kind of sad. The dreams in which I’m dying are the best I’ve ever had.

I'm fine. I mean, not that I'm over it, but little by little it's getting easier to pretend it's easier, which means easier might be right around the corner.

Do not ruin yourself pursueing the ones who want something you are not.

"The best revenge is living well without you." - Joyce Carol Oates

I was just thinking about the lyrics to this song 'a dream is a wish you make with your heart', and if thats true, then my heart wants alot of dirty things.

I love you because I know you're always there. There to catch me when I fall. There to listen when I need you, there when I feel alone. I love you because you understand me. You know how I feel even when I can't say it. You know I'm not as strong as I say and still you never let me know that I'm not fooling you. I love you because you make me believe, believe that I am not worthless. Believe that I can be loved, am loved, and can love others. I love you because you know, you know I feel this way but can't say it and still you wait. Letting me take my time to come to terms with the fact that I love you, would give my life up to be with you. And above all, never hurt you, lie to you, or leave you. Now I hope you understand.
